The Need to Educate Rural India And How We Can Do It | Sandeep Desai | TEDxJaiHindCollege

In this talk Mr.Desai talks about his efforts to bring forth free education to the kids in rural India, and also how the common man can contribute towards the same.

Mr Desai was a professor in one of the top B-schools in India but gave it up to help uplift the poor. He is a man committed to his dream to educate underprivileged children, living in the rural areas of Maharashtra and Rajasthan. In order to make money for this 52- year old professor goes around begging in Mumbai’s crowded local trains. He has done so for two years and has raised 50 lakh rupees. The money is used to run four English medium schools already, with a fifth school to open shortly. The people living in the areas where Mr Desai has set up the schools equate him to a God as he helped them achieve something they could never even think of. Yet Mr Desai says that his job has just begun and that there is a long road ahead.
